The 11-kilometre project is divided into three segments: the south one that connects with the Southwest Calgary Ring Road, the north one that meets the Trans-Canada Highway, and a new bridge across the Bow River. The north segment, running between Old Banff Coach Road and the Trans-Canada Highway, was constructed by EllisDon. The West Bow River Bridge twinning project will be built by Flatiron and Aecon and has been tendered at a cost of $89 million.
The West Calgary Ring Road is expected to open fully to traffic in 2024. When complete, the entire Calgary Ring Road will provide travellers with 101 kilometres of free-flow freeway travel around the largest city in the province.
